October Meeting to be held at Science Center

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

The October 9th Meeting will be held at the Regional Science Center (Buffalo State Park) instead of the usual location at the MSUM planetarium. Meeting time will still be the same: 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM.

The reason for the change of location is because we were asked to send one person to help out with a small observing night. Our fearless president made a decision to relocate the meeting so we can (hopefully) all enjoy a bit of telescope time.

Everyone is encouraged to bring scopes along!
